Hi ! This is the first character I created, after two months I reached 250,000 MPR. Do not laugh, I learn everything by myself, except that my mentor trigun told me that archery is useless for crossbows.

At the beginning I used AMF and DM before discovering DM cancels my own AMF. I began to use auctions Then after three weeks or so I began to join clans, and after one month and a half I discovered how useful it is to buy BA. Now I could not play without buying BA.

I except to reach 500,000 MPR at the end of my NUB. Currently I am doing 10,000 MPR a day, thats not bad, but WE I play much less, and I will leave for a two weeks vacations.

I am not here to cry. I see many players restarting with new characters, but I do not want to do so. I like my team. I believe I have a very good strategy :-)

What do you think about a permanent character bonus, so that anyone, passed its NUB, could reach, lets say, 75% of the best player MPR ? This bonus would be nullify as soon as a player reached the 75% limit.

I do not think the best player would be annoyed, because they would in any case still have a 25% MPR advantage.
And this will allow the others, less dedicated or less experimented, to be able to reach correct MPR and be able, perhaps, to try and propose new strategies.

you don't *need* to get to the top, the whole reason for the bonuses are so that the opportunity is there to get to the top. my NUB runs out tomorrow and i have a 538k MPR character because, like you said, it took a little bit of experimenting and playing around. I'll probably make a NCB character just because it will probably be fun.

some people would try to abuse a permanent character bonus, i'm sure, and also, that's not the point of it, anyway.

Correct MPR? no such thing. everyone isn't supposed to equal the top player by the end of their NUB, the framework is just there so it is possible. not everybody can be as dedicated as kitty, though :P

You start a NCB character, the bonus is set up to get you to the top MPR at the end of your bonus time. Let's call top MPR x. You work at an average pace and only make x/2 by the time your bonus is up (x is the MPR the top spot would be at the the end of your bonus time, not the start).

Now, you can start another character, which at the end of the next bonus time would aim to get you to x + another four months growth (let's call this y).

Working at the same rate, your new characater would get to (x+y)/2 at the end of your second bonus period.

But, your old character would have got to x/2 + y/2 (as you still work half as much as the top guy..). You new character would be the same size as your old...

Therefore, if you don't aim to work harder during a second bonus period, there is absolutly no reason to start again!

If we factor back in the bonus only aiming to get you to 95% of x, then you're worse off starting again if you are going to work with the same effort.

And not to jack your thread but you created two days before me and your NUB ends 12 days after mine so you have it made.
